Prospectus

We operate an equal opportunities policy where all children are welcome.  Each child will be treated as an individual, taking into account their own needs.

The Pre-School is a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance.  It follows their constitution and believes in their underlying principle of "Learn Through Play".

Children start in the half term of their 3^rd birthday and can stay with us until they start school.  There is a maximum of 18 children at each session.

At each session there are three members of staff, all trained to an appropriate level in childcare and First Aid. Staff work together to provide the best care for each child.

We are accredited for Government funding for 3 and 4 year olds. Other fees are payable for the extended lunch club.

Parents are welcome at the Pre-School at any time. You are most welcome to join us at Pre-School to read some stories, help at the computer or sing songs; whatever you would like to do!  It is a good way of seeing for yourself what the children do at Pre-School, the children also have the opportunity to see their own parent/carer in a new role.  Please speak to the staff if you would like to help during a session.

Activities at Pre-School are designed to promote learning and develop childrens' confidence and independence; essential skills for later learning in school. We provide a wide variety of resources for children to explore including role play, painting, play dough, numbers, books, music and singing, cookery, wheeled toys, gardening and a nature area.  Outside visits and walks in our local community all designed to cover the six areas of Early Years Curriculum: personal, social and emotional development, communication, language and literacy, mathematics, creative, physical, knowledge and understanding of the world.  We work towards the early learning goals for the 'foundation stage' of your child's education.
